Former NH state senator accused of altercation with Brown campaign
The Portsmouth Herald ^ | October 31, 2014 | Karen Dandurant

PORTSMOUTH — A verbal altercation Friday night at Portsmouth High School came about because of an idling tour bus belonging to Republican U.S. Senate candidate Scott Brown.

...Williams (a spokesperson for the Brown campaign) said a man approached the bus, screaming obscenities. He said the man, later identified as New Castle resident Burt Cohen, a longtime Democratic state senator, not only refused to leave when asked, but attempted to board the bus, accosting a campaign volunteer who tried to stop him.

Williams alleges that the volunteer campaign worker stood between Cohen and the bus and Cohen "physically assaulted" the campaigner...

For those who aren't familiar with Mr. Cohen, among other acts of good citizenship are (a) he hit a 97-year-old man with his car, causing him to break his hip and (b) he resisted arrest after running stop signs and hitting parked cars, and then uttered these famous words: "Don't you know who I am?", and (c) when being stopped for speeding in the 90s, told the officers that their "careers were or will be over".

Now he's apparently becoming unglued because Scott Brown has dared to challenge Jeanne Shaheen for NH's senate seat.

For some reason my liberal acquaintances are all *crickets chirping and tumbleweeds* about this.

I would find it highly surprising if NH ever retired Ms. Shaheen; why was once even the governor in that liberal state.

Not too surprising.
Many Democrats are starting to spit, drool and pee themselves with anger and hatred the closer we get to election day.
My guess would be that about Wed morning Nov 5 the suicide hot lines in this country will be lit up like Christmas trees. Another guess- is we'll see at least one liberal pundit blame the Republican's probable success on Tues on mass racial hatred for Baraq.

He needs a broken nose, some perforated eardrums, and a very sore larynx. That might settle him down. If not there is more where that came from.

I think state authorities can hold anyone acting strangely for psychological evaluation. By the time this swamp dweller would be released, the election would be over.

from the article-
“I told them it is pollution,” said Cohen, reached by phone. “I care about things like that. “

In New Hampshire, when it’s above freezing, diesels aren’t allowed to idle for more than five minutes. I wonder if Cohen had a stopwatch...

Cohen dude is either on drugs or has a drinking problem. I’m guessing it’s drugs. This needs to make BIG news before Tuesday. “This man terrorized Scott’s sister, his niece and her friends. He physically assaulted one of our volunteers. We locked the bus and he was going around it, banging on it.”

He’s got anger issues, you can see it in his promo picture. He’s ready to go off at any moment.

Pardon me if I’m confused but I recall hearing Mr. Cohen say a thousand f***ing times “Burt don’t roll on Shabbos.”

well, the bus was idling. Polluting the air with bus idle exhaust is a serious danger to the atmosphere and is going to kill us when the corn and wheat fields are burned to a crisp by global warming.

What's the difference between a crazy person and a Democrat?

Frighteningly, the answer is 'I don't know'.
